Where? if its on the scales then its most likely scale rot which can be caused by the enclosure being to wet or humid, to fix this i usually temporarily house them in a shoebox tub with paper towls and put neosporing on the infected areas, and sometimes when snakes are scared the regurgitate

intestinal.do you think may be ahole pinky was to rich.

[lyn s]

or from handling.aday after he ate.

If the only problem is that he regurgitated some of his food, then it is most likely just from handling him too much or stress. I wouldn't worry unless it happens more frequently. Are there any other problems with him?? Skin problems, sluggish behaviour etc??

[lyn s]

sluggish.doesnt what to eat.he has heat like 84 allways water bowl.

[lyn s]

maybe.liquid urin.

[anji1971]

It's possible that it was just too much for him to digest, but I'd definitely keep an eye on him if he's sluggish, and constantly seeking the heat- he could very well be sick. If he doesn't improve soon, a vet visit may be a good idea.

sounds kinda like hes gunna shed a lot of times they wont eat when there shedding and they soak a lot and are sluggish/like to hide, and the regurgitation may just be stress, are its eyes blue/cloudy?

if you try to much it will get stressed and that will be the reason it wont eat
